To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, RICHARD EvANs, a citizen of the United States, residing at J ohnstown, in the county of Fulton and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gauntlet- Wrists for Gloves; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention consists in the novel features hereinafter described, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate one form in which the invention has been embodied, and said invention is fully disclosed in the following description and claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a glove provided with an improved gauntlet-wrist embodying the present invention. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the glove, showing the gore detached. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the blank for the gore proper. Fig. 4 is a similar view of one form of tip for the gore. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the gore, showing a different form of tip; and Fig. 6 is a plan view of the blank for this modified form of tip.

The object of this invention is to provide a gauntlet or glove having a gauntlet-wrist with an offset or extension on the outer side (or side farthest from the thumb) and extending laterally from and substantially perpendicularly to the wrist portion of the glove proper to accommodate more easily and perfectly the coat-sleeve of the wearer.

In the manufacture of a gauntlet for driving, automobiling, &c., which is worn more often than not with an overcoat or heavy outer coat, it has been found desirable to increase the capacity of the gauntlet in order that it may fit over and inclose the cuff portion of the sleeve.

The object of this invention is to increase the size or capacity of the gauntlet without increasing materially the size of the glove at the wrist, thus insuring a proper fit of the glove and preventing the gauntlet portion from working down over the wrist and at the same time completely inclosing the cuff portions of the sleeve.

In carrying out the invention a gore is employed of substantially the length of the gauntlet or extension of the glove and of a suflicient width to give the desired capacity I to the gauntlet when inserted between the edges thereof, in what would otherwise be the outer seam, and to the end of the gore nearest the hand is stitched a small piece of leather, which is termed a tip, which unites the top or inner end of the gore to the glove substantially at the wrist portion thereof. This tip is tapered where it joins the glove proper and when in place extends for the most part laterally from and substantially perpendicularly to the wrist portion over the gore or extension of the gauntlet, and thus the wrist of the glove proper is not materially increased in diameter and'a firm and neat fit of the glove at the wrist is insured.

In the drawings, A represents the hand portion of the glove, which is of normal size and shape down to the wrist portion. B indicates the wrist portion C, the gauntlet proper D, the gore inserted in the gauntlet to increase its size and capacity to enable it to be drawn over the cuff of a coat or overcoat sleeve, and E is the tip which forms the top of the gore at insert and connects it to the wrist portion without materially increasing the diameter of the glove at that point. A plan of the blank for the gore D is shown in Fig. 3, and Fig. 4 represents the tip-blank. The gore D is preferably straight across the top, as at d, and its lateral edges d d diverge slightly. The bottom edges of the gore preferably incline downwardly to a point 61, as shown, The tip E is preferably formed as shown in Fig. 4:, having a point e at one end formed by the intersection of edges 6 e, which meet at an angle, and a continuouslycurved edge 6 extends from the opposite ends of the edges 6 e and is of the same length as the top edge (1 of the gore D, to which it is united by stitching, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the seam being indicated at 1. The lateral edges d of the gore are united to the edges of the gauntlet proper by seams 2, one of which is seen in Fig. 1, and the edges e e of the tip are united to the edges of the wrist portion of the glove proper by seams 3 3.

In some cases a slightly-modified form of tip is employed, as shown in Fig. 6, in which it is made pointed at each end or diamond shape. In this figure the tip isindicated by E, and the edges, which are united to the glove proper, are indicated at e 6 The outer portion of the tip is bounded by intersecting edges (2 e, which meet in a point e and have a combined length equal to the top edge of the gore. In Fig. 5 is shown the gore (here indicated by D) with the tip E attached, the edges 6 c being stitched to the top edge of the gore by a seam 4. This modified construction differs from the construction shown in Figs. 1 to 4, inclusive, in having the tip pointed at its outer end instead of curved, thus producing a correspondingly sharp fold or crease in the center of the gore instead of having it rounded evenly, as shown in Figs. 1 to 4.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

. 1. A gauntlet-glove having the hand portion of normal size and shape down to the Wrist portion and having the gauntlet extending laterally, beyond the wrist portion, and substantially perpendicularly thereto to accommodate the cuff of the wearer, without materially increasing the diameter of the wrist portion of the glove, substantially as described.

2. A gauntlet-glove, having the hand portion of normal size and shape down to the wrist portion, and provided with a gauntlet of greater diameter than the wrist portion, and projecting laterally beyond the wrist portion and having its upper edge substantially perpendicular thereto, and a separate tip connected to the upper edge of the projecting portion of the gauntlet, and having converging edges united to the Wrist portion of the glove whereby the laterally-projecting portion of the gauntlet will accommodate a cuff of the wearer, without materially increasing the diameter of the wrist portion of the glove, substantially as described.

3. A gauntlet-glove, having the hand portion of normal size and shape down to the wrist portion, and provided with a gauntlet, forming an extension of the hand portion, said gauntlet having a separate gore extending laterally from the wrist portion, and ha ving its upper edge substantially perpendicular thereto, and a separate tip united to the upper edge of the gore and having converging edges connected to the wrist portions of the glove, substantially as described.

4. A glove having a gauntlet provided on the outer side with a gore extending from the wrist portion to the end of the gauntlet, and a tip having a curved portion united to the top edge of the gore, and converging edges united to the Wrist portions of the glove proper, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I a'l'liX my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
